Ok everyone, serious thread here for a second.

Let´s take a moment to appreciate that:

>the only general ever on /biz/ was for ripple
>they had countless newer versions of the thread
>every time I clicked on it, it was a bit insane, and I couldn't even figure out what was there to even talk about. It was the crabbiest of coins for 3 years.
>somehow crippleschizos were legitimately convinced the price would explode, often because of some esoteric bullshit
>briefly goes x3 for a month
>during one of bitcoin's amazing bull runs, it crashes lower than what it was priced at years ago

Come on, it is a bit too funny.
I feel bad for the schizos, but the situation is too hilarious to not laugh about

It didn't. It attracted the same dumbass normies who shitted on and missed out on BTC because it wasnt mainstream enough and their only way to cope was to latch on to the shill smart enough create a project thatpromised to essentially be the exact opposite of BTC; thereby validating their dumb shit opinions on why it would never be successful.

It’s a real trip to watch the militant HODL mentality of XRP bag holders. It seems to me that it attracts the absolute bottom of the barrel of the telegram/normie crowd because of how cheap XRP is in comparison to other top cryptos. It’s like they only see opportunities to moon because of the insanely low (in their eyes) token price. GRT and a ton of alts appeal to the same idea, that you can buy large quantities for a dollar or less and you can “make it” because of your 100,000 or 1M stack of cheap garbage when it “moons” to 0.01 or 1.00.

There’s a reason the SEC is going after XRP first before Tether. Once XRP gets cleared from this initial lawsuit, the SEC will go after Tether/BTC next. The entire market will dump by 90%. (except XRP, which will be cleared) All that dump money will only have one place to go

We live in an information space where there are conflicting opinions about everything. Social networks make it easy for people to group together into echo chambers where they reinforce one perspective and exclude evidence that supports any other. It's tribal human nature on digital steroids.
MLM groups are like this, Dems/Repubs are like this, maskers / covid skeptics are like this, and crypto tribes are like this too.
And the funny thing is, even if you're a skeptic and see most of this bullshit for what it is - there's probably something you're a "flat earther" about too - you just don't realize it because most of the people you interact with are the same way.

I can be correct about a thing but less correct than you. I can be correct about a thing but only from a certain perspective that's irrelevant in other contexts.
Detecting truth is like focusing a telescope, when you tune the focus how do you know when the image is correct? If someone directs you to the store and you follow the instructions and find a store, how do you know it's the store he was talking about?
You assume the most reliably reproducible information is correct and adjust your model of the world to account for it. The more reliable but still plastic your model is the more money and science you make.

Plato retold a story and added his own twist on it with metaphors about governance. Everyone assumed it was all myth and metaphors but then we went to space and found exactly what he described in a place we recently came to know was muddy in the time of Plato as described and flooded 12000 years ago as described. Why does everyone still think the guy was talking about a different made up store than the store he gave directions to? The models are too rigid, even more rigid than during the height of Christian religious zealotry and like then it got this way to serve the greed of a few.

That woman XRPrainmaker is a good insight into the mind of an xrp bagholder. I unironically feel really bad for this woman. She seems like a nice person but I think fell for XRP because they have a very welcoming community to lonely people like that. Shes talked about how the BTC community were assholes towards her and didn't like her memes which I can totally see. In her original channel she would break down crying half way through in multiple videos. Makes me sad bros. Btw I'm not simping for her but stuff like that does force me to put a face behind the people getting rekt on that scam. Most of them are decent people that mean well. Also makes me hate the scammers that take advantage of these people.

Shes deleted and renamed her channel like 20 times (became a BSVer for a brief moment) but still has one of the old channels ones up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz33RDArVr0

It's sad, but people who are investing based on emotion and how 'welcoming' the community is are eventually going to get rekt by something. If it wasn't this, it would be MLM or some other scam that's designed to separate normies from their money. Hopefully the people who got hurt will learn a lesson from this, but I know they probably won't. People (usually women) move from MLM scam to MLM scam, and you see the same thing will serial crypto bag holders.
